How we handle uPVC repair in Southwaite

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Common call-outs are for chips and dents and holes from removed fittings and alarms, in conservatory frames, window frames & sills and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Common questions in Southwaite

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work in Southwaite?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Southwaite. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What affects the price in Southwaite

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CA4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Southwaite

When to call us in Southwaite

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damage during building work
  • Chips and dents
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What prep work is covered
